Ariel's Grotto 12:40 seating

[AZMermaid]

Hello! I just booked us for Ariel's Grotto for June at the 12:40 seating. My understanding is the seating is staggered inside vs outside. Does anyone know if this seating is usually in or out? We would prefer to be inside if possible. I am going to make my daughter an appointment at Anna and Elsa's Boutique at 10:30. But.... if the 11:30 is inside, I could possibly make it for 10:00 and do that time for lunch instead. Thank you!

I think you will likely be outside with that time. They always seat the inside first with the earlier reservations.

I agree. That's consistent with what we've seen each time we've gone.

We were worried about sitting outside last time, that it would be either too hot or too cold. But it really was lovely.

12:40 is technically the 3rd seating so I think you'll be inside. I booked 11:30 which is the 2nd seating. We had this same time last year and we were sat outside and that is what I'm hoping for again this time.

When we were there last Monday, we had an 11:20 seating which was the first for lunch and was inside. Then outside seemed to be sat at around 12:00 (maybe it was closer to 11:40? I wasn't paying super close attention). When we left at about 12:40ish the inside was almost empty and new parties were just starting to be let in, but the staircase was still empty (no one yet waiting for Ariel pictures). Hope that helps.
